West Queen West -- Little Portugal Neighbourhood!

West Queen West is a hip and incredibly artsy neighbourhood. Fun fact! The "hood" was really put on the map when a 2014 Vogue article named West Queen West as one of the coolest neighbourhood in the world.

Two of the oldest neighbourhood landmarks are the historic Drake and The Gladstone Hotel. These "art" hotels are prominent pillars in the neighbourhood and a great spot to meet friends for dinner and drinks, live entertainment and art exhibits.

With a Walkscore 94/100 the world is your oyster to discover on foot! The area is known for it's cutting-edge art galleries, independent, eclectic shops, awesome vintage boutiques, restaurants and cafe's. For coffee, Sam James and and Major Treat are considered to be among the best. Besides the Drake and Gladstone, other favourite spots are: Antikka Cafe and Records, El Almacen, Agora, Hooky's and Convenience. The food Mecca that is the Ossington strip is a short walk away.

Art galleries include the Propeller Gallery, the Ryerson Art space, Twist Gallery and the gallery space connected with 68 Abell itself.

The Theatre Centre offers cutting edge theatre, coffee and drinks.

Walk to a 24 hour Metro, Trinity Bellwoods Park, Lake Ontario, the CNE, & BMO Field.

Lisgar Park is right outside the building. The half-hectare space has a cool industrial themed, sculptural play area and ample seating. There is a farmer's market spring, summer and fall and they sometimes have live music, free yoga and movie nights. Trinity Bellwoods Park is one of the city's largest public green spaces downtown. The perfect place for weekend hangs and picnics. There is also easy access to the endless Martin Goodman Trail that spans the whole waterfront of Toronto on lovely Lake Ontario, accessible via Jamieson. High Park, the jewel of the Toronto Parks system with its 399 acres of public parkland including Grenadier Pond, is not far west.

Located at 180 Shaw Street, Artscape Youngplace is a creative community hub and a home to artist studios, event rental spaces, and public lounging areas. This hub features tons of artistic and community programming happening in and around the building every day! Stop by to explore the hallway galleries, grab lunch in the cafe, and hang out in the public lounge spaces with free WiFi.

The Trinity Community Recreation Centre has an indoor pool, gymnasium, track and weight room. The Parkdale Public Library offers plenty of programming for everyone.

Easy bike riding around town! For convenience when driving, it is a quick trip downtown via DVP Gardiner/Lakeshore or out of town via QEW. Pearson Airport & 400 series highways are easily accessible from this location.
